I don't know, but some of the old SMC manufactured Safaris had their brake fluid reservoir over the driver's side front wheel. Maybe another Simba owner can chime in...

New brake fluid is clear. As it ages/absorbs moisture, it turns tan and eventually almost black.

What chassis are you on?? THAT will determine where your master cylinder/reservoir are located.

It will not be related to where earlier Safari diesel pushers located their master cylinder.

Workhorse P or W chassis?

Once we know that, hopefully, someone with the same chassis will see this and be able to assist.

Another option is to look under the "hood" in front of the driver's side. Usually easy to find, as the brake pedal activates it (sometimes through a linkage).
